How do you plan to celebrate the new Transformers movie?  Yeah- it’s a big deal in our house.

On those long, boring summer days, why not bust out the dress up/costume box and let the kids go nuts?  From princesses to dinosaurs to Transformers and more,  there are all kinda of fun costumes your kids can choose from.  Now is also the time to fish for ideas for Halloween costumes as well.  Get an idea of what the kids are really into and will want to be for Halloween.

Without the “full gear” on top- just the basic outfit

Little Man (like his Dad) loves robots, and Transformers have to be some of his favorites.  His absolute favorite of the Transformers is the silly but tough Bumblebee.  So this was his pick for costumes this year, so far.  We had the pleasure of giving the new Transformers costume a try from Halloween Adventure.  Number one- shipping was quick and packaging of the costume was perfect.  No damage at all.  Secondly, Little Man loves the costume.  Ever since first laying eyes on it, he loves the robot arms and the way the body suit makes him look like a robot without the bulk of bigger costumes.  There are circuit and wire patterns which go along with the arm cannon, chest and mask.  The arm cannon, mask and chest plate are all made of a light yet durable plastic while the body suit is a spandex type material which is form fitting but not very tight.  Every so often he likes to dress up in a costume and spend the day as that character.  Sometimes a monkey, there used to be a dinosaur he would dress up as regularly, now I wouldn’t be surprised if that character is Bumblebee.  This costume follows in the line of ever popular Transformers from the Official trailer for the new movie.  The Bumblebee Transformers Deluxe costume retails for $39.99 but is on sale often so be sure to check it soon.
